The aim of this paper is to study the asymptotic behavior of the solution of a nonlinear variational inequality in periodically perforated media. The domain is considered to be a fixed bounded open subset of ℝ n , in which identical and periodically distributed perforations of size ϵ are made. The asymptotic behavior of the solution of such a problem is governed by an obstacle problem, associated to the homogenization of a periodic heterogeneous and perforated medium.
